The fact is, that then, as now, there was little chance for loss ill such investments, but the prudence, discretion and foresight that actuated his purchases proved that he had found just the field for his energy and talents. lie made no mistakes, and has, during these two years of his life in Kansas City, in- creased the capital he brought here more than thirty fold, and in this con- nection it is a remarkable fact that men of small means have succeeded proportionately with heavy capi- talists. And to-day it is my opinion that the safest and surest road to wealth for men with judgment and few thousand dollars leads straight to Kansas City Profit is certain, either in buying lots or launching in one or another of the rapidly expand ing channels of industry or trade for, in the general rush of business here, hundreds of comparatively modest op- portunities have been passed by and still remain available.

 "The development of this city" he said to me, ais now beyond the e-iperi- mental stage. Where once there was lack of confidence and consequent dan ger of reaction, there are to-day many absolute guarantees of the city'S future. What was once problematic is now as certain as statistics. To be- gin with, there is too much capital invested here by the shrewdest tinan- ciers ill all the world to admit of ret aggression. The men who have invested here would, should any emer- gency arise, combine such forces as were never known in the industrial economy of the world. to maintain the city's supremacy.

times will rather help than harm us, for many people Yn such state of things would he forced to emigrate to the territory tributary to Kansas City. In other words, hard times would make forced sales of lands in such To- calities, for instance. as our own state of Kentucky, where the luxurious state of civilization tempts high liv- ing and running into debt. After be- ing forced to sell. there is generally enough left these people to buy cheap lands and start new homes somewhere in the almost boundless region SUD- piled from this great market. No matter if they go to Kansas or Arkan- saw or Texas, or, for that matter, any where between Minnesota and the Gulf of Mexico, between the Missis- sippi river and the Sierra Nevada mountains, Kansas City will be profited by their industry.
 "Again," Mir Wilson continued, 'an ordinary financial panic has for its effect destruction of confidence in stocks, and the like, and leads people to put their money into safer and more permanent properties. And so Kansas City profits by Wall-street tumbles for the stability of values here is as we'll assured as that the re- public will endure. The steady influx of population and money, the gigantic improvements both public and pri- vate, the city's mid-continental loca- tion, and its rapidly expanding busi- ness, ali make its continued prosperity a settled question and insure within the next decade population of five hundred thousand"
 next asked Mr. Wilson his views as to the directions in which the city's growth was most likely to extend this year.

In the anatomy of enterprise, New York may be the head. but Kansas City is the heart that makes the pulse of progress beat from the country s head to it's very finger tips. And if this heart should cease to beat it would paralyze the continent, for it's pIlsations keep up the courtry'S cour- age and give it nerve in working out its destiny.
 For the last few weeks I have been writing you of certain wideawake Kentuckians down ill Kentucky, but now I am going to write about more than wide-awake Kentuckian here i'll Kansas City, man who has managed to get into and hold place in the front rank of a procession that is the ''pushingest" that ever made pilgrim age to that shrine of shrines, that goal of universal hearts desire, success.
 There are many other kentuckians in Kansas City who have rushed into the lists where brains and energy and courage from the four quarters of creation have arrayed themselves and Tn the tourney they nave won lIelf golden laurels, and a good many of these successful Kentucky boys hap pen to be old friends of mine, and they told me how certain "tender- foot" from Louisville came here and weak ened," and then went back and vented his spleen upon the town in com munication printed in the Courier Journal, making out the prospects here "a delusion and snare" in order to cloak, as they said, his own most heinous sin of cowardice. And so Il sketch of the successful career of a

well-known Kentuckian in Kansas City-a genuinely representative ca reer-is just now peculiarly timely and appropriate
 Mir. William s. Wilson came to Kansas City direct from Louisville May 1. 1885. He was born and reared at that good, old -fashioned Kentucky town of Greensburg, where his father and grandfather before him had lived since he days of Daniel Boone. He graduated in 1866 at Center College, at Danville, an institution of which many other eminent Ken tuckians in Kansas City, mo- tably, Governor T. T. Crittenden, are alumni. After his college days his father moved to Louisville. where he too made his home from 1867 till he came to Kansas City. At Louisville he first read law, under the tutelage of that great Kentucky jurist, John M. Harlan, now a justice of the sn- preme court of the United States. He practiced law for brief period and then drifted into journalism, and in a short time became president of the company that published the Louis vile Ddily Commercial. In January, 1881, he was appointed collector of internal revenue for the Louisville district, one of the most important federal offices in the state, which he managed to the satisfaction alike of Democrats and Republicans; and it is a matter of record that, although he was the youngest revenue collector in the United States, yet when the ex- pert examiner came to transfer the ot- flee, at the close of his term, to his successor, he declared in his official report that in all his thirteen years of official experience he had never transferred an office with such easy facility before, so perfect was the working order of it's machinery under Wilson's management. It is certain, as happen to know, that the people of Louisville regarded him not only as a model official, but as clear headed, high minded gentleman.
 Not long after this he came to Kan sas City and at once went into the real estate business. True, there were then, as now, hundreds of other men in the same line, and at first blush it would have struck timid man as a very crowded field, but this state of things did not for a moment daunt MT. Wilson's courage. He had few thousand dollars, which his faith in the destiny of the city led him quickly to invest in Kansas City realty, and,

He then returned to tic north and in connection with MT. Atkinson worked up the interest and co-opera- tion that made that exposition fl sue cess. For instance, upon bis arrival at Boston he went to the Daily Her 0id office and wrote All editorial with q blank space for a subscription by that paper, which Mr. Pulsiier plb- lished and filled in the blank with one thousand dollars. He was afterwards made secretary of the exposition, and, AS a matter of fact, WAS the main spring in the executive machinery. And when the time came for the in- staliation of exhibits, the most diff cult and trying work in the whole eD
